I found this at DP. I remember getting Punch Out new as a kid, but never remembered this letter.

My buddy and I played many rounds of Punch Out back in the day, but I don't remember ever seeing such a letter.  Thanks for sharing the ludicrisp lubrication.  :lol:

Never become angry - it will inhibit your ability.
It will also lead to a propensity for gnawing on your opponent's ear.

In essence, boxing is 10% physical and 90% mental and emotional.
Or in Mike's case, 100% mental.

Don't quit.
That's right, Iron Mike, don't take no for answer.  She likes it.

Hey if I recall, anger helped Mike instantly win some fights!

Great letter, thanks for sharing!

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I rememeber that letter when I bought the game. I know I threw it out, as I imagine a lot of other people did, which is why they are hard to find today. I guess you need it if you want a true complete copy of MT Punchout. :)

Hahah.. that's pretty good.  Iron Mike probably couldn't even read or write when that was printed.

I got mine new in the store too but it didn't come with any such letter.  They probably only had so many printed and only put them in the first X number of the copies of the game.  Some of these words are pretty big though for Mikey, I suspect he didn't actually write any of this, not even the quotes.  Well maybe he said the quotes.  Maybe lol.

I had a mint condition box for this game with the inserts and the letter (the letter wasn't mint) that I sold on ebay. It went for about 15 bucks...

I kinda regret selling the letter because I like to keep the inserts, maps, etc for the NES games that are in my collection...

I remember that letter, haha. Nintendo was obsessed with letters! Like in Mario 3 where the princess kept sending you letters.
